So firstly schooling, do mainstream schools cater for children with special needs or learning differculties or will he have to go to a special needs school?
What are the best areas to live in, as we've never been to Australia, it's abit differcult to know where's best to live, also buying or renting pros and cons to both would be great. If we do go my parents and sister would want to come too, how strict are immigration to letting the whole family emmigrate. And anything else that anyone can add.
I know that long term our lives could be fantasic, but it's taking that leap.
Hi there,

I've found a few websites that might be of help.

Asperger Services Australia : History of Asperger Services Australia

Autism Victoria - About Autism Victoria

Asperger Syndrome Support Network (Vic) Inc - Clubs, Associations & Groups - Community - Melbourne Guide - Only Melbourne

Hope there is some useful info for you. Have a look at the forums, you'll probably get the answers there.

Re your family coming over as well, as Karen said, have a look at the sticky at the top of the page "please read.....", on the DIAC link you'll find all the visa types and their requirements.

Any other questions, please just ask.

Dolly
